Schoeps K EMC 30 U

Product Description

Schoeps is well-known as a manufacturer of microphones and microphone accessories. Microphone cables have long been among these offerings.

The Schoeps K EMC is their newest cable. It offers particularly good immunity to electromagnetic interference.

What distinguishes the K EMC?

There are several essential requirements for good cables in professional applications. The SCHOEPS K EMC meets these requirements in an ideal manner:

• High-quality Neutrik XLR-3 "EMC"-type connectors have been specially developed to help prevent ground loops and combat ”Pin 1” problems
• Star-quad construction is especially effective in resisting magnetic interference
• Low capacitance and series resistance permit the use of very great lengths when needed
• Robust electrical screen is cross-braided for improved coverage, with a graphite-coated inner mantle; both features shield the inner conductors optimally from radio-frequency interference
• Only 4 mm in diameter, yet very robust due to the multiple bundles of Kevlar fiber in its jacket
• Will not twist or untwist once installed; if you suspend a microphone from this type of cable, the microphone's orientation will be preserved.
• Can be bent many thousands of times within a narrow radius if necessary, without breaking
• Remains particularly flexible in the cold, due to its polyurethane outer jacket

Schoeps' single-channel microphone cables feature special RF-resistant Neutrik connectors at both ends. These connectors use a circular array of miniature capacitors to connect pin 1 to the connector housings, thus offering substantial protection from radio-frequency interference while also preventing ground loops. This approach completely settles the old question of whether to connect the cable shield to pin 1 at one or both ends of the cable.

For easy identification, the plug connector has a nickel finish while the socket connector is black.
